To identify the possible role of very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) and apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2) genes in duck muscles, the developmental changes of VLDLR and ApoER2 mRNA level in breast muscle, leg muscle and cardiac muscle during duck early growth stages were investigated using Real-time fluorescent quantity PCR. The results showed that VLDLR and ApoER2 mRNA expression level was different in different muscle tissues from 1 to 8 week in duck and had tissue-dependent. Three expression patterns of VLDLR mRNA during growth were found: Fluctuating expression as up-down (breast muscle), as down-up-down-up (leg muscle) and as down-up-down (cardiac muscle). For ApoER2 mRNA expression level, in breast muscle, the mRNA expression level was the highest (P<0.01) in 3 week old duck. In leg muscle, the mRNA expression level kept a low level in the first 6 weeks, then had a significant increase in 7 and 8 weeks, which was significantly higher than that of other weeks (P<0.01). During the cardiac tissue development, the mRNA expression level presented as up-down with growing, and had a higher expression level in the first 2 weeks (P<0.01). In the same week VLDLR and ApoER2 mRNA expression level had tissue-dependent in muscles of three different sites in duck. Our results indicated that VLDLR and ApoER2 genes could play an important role in intramuscular fat accumulation with spatial and temporal specificity during duck early growth stages.

We designed and synthesized two pairs of specific primers amplified S1 gene by RT-PCR method to investigate the variation in S1 genes of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in 2012 in Henan.S1 genes of 5 PEDV strains were cloned and sequenced, and their phylogenetic trees were analyzed from different swine breeding farms. Sequences analysis showed that S1 genes shared 98.3% to 99.5% nucleotide identities and 97.1% to 98.9% amino acids homologies among five PEDV isolates. Compared with domestic landing PEDV from 2011, the nucleotide homologies were 88.6% to 98.0% and amino acid homologies were 85.3% to 98.7%. Compared with CV777, the nucleotide homologies were 88.7% to 89.1% and amino acid homologies were 87.3% to 88.4%. Homology analysis showed that S1 genes of 5 isolates shared the same genetic mutation, there were the same insertions and deletions. Compared with domestic mutant strains landed from 2011, there was no tendency. However, compared with CV777, there were three nucleotide insertions from 163 to 166 bp, nine nucleotide insertions from 173 to 174 bp, three nucleotide insertions from 405 to 406 bp and three nucleotide deletions from 463 to 464 bp. These insertions and deletions of nucleotides led to its corresponding changes in encoding amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S1 genes of 5 PEDV strains belonged to the third group. However compared with part of PEDV first group domestic mutant strains landed in 2011, the nucleotide homologies were 88.6% to 89.3% and amino acid homologies were 85.3% to 86.9%. CV777 was the second group. The results showed that S1 genes of PEDV prevalent strain exist in first and third groups, but mainly prevailing third group strains, the pathogenic and antigenic differences of these strains should be further studied.

In this study, a dual-priming oligonucleotide (DPO)-based PCR method for specific detection of Shigella was established using ipaH gene of Shigella as the target gene. The results showed that detection sensitivity of the DPO-PCR method was 1.65×102 CFU/mL. Compared with conventional PCR primers, the DPO primers were easily designed, which simplified the design procedure of PCR primers. DPO primers were not sensitive to annealing temperature, which could efficiently amplify the target gene in the annealing temperature range from 50 to 70 ℃. Moreover, due to the special structure of DPO primers, it had a higher specificity than conventional PCR primers, and none nonspecific amplifications were produced in reaction. In the practical application, tests on 133 samples including frozen/fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, fresh milk, eggs and cooked food by the DPO-PCR method showed that 15 samples were Shigella positive, which were in accordance with the testing results using GB method (GB/T 4789.5—2012), showing good practicality and reliability. The DPO-PCR method provided a new tool for fast and accurate detection of Shigella.

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) and goat pox virus (GTPV) are the causative agents of two kinds of goats’ diseases—peste des petits ruminants and goat pox which can cause disaster economic losses. In order to detect the two viruses simultaneously and quickly, two sets of primers and relative probes were designed based on the nucleoprotein (N) gene of PPRV and the inverted terminal repeat (ITR) segment of GTPV, respectively. In order to work together in the same reaction, the probes were labeled with different fluorescent materials 5′FAM-TAMRA3′and 5′JOE-Eclipse3′,respectively. Results showed that the duplex Real-time RT-PCR assay was identified to be specific for PPRV and GTPV only and specific fluorescent signal could be detected, but the related viruses including fowl pox virus(FPV)and canine distemper virus (CDV) had no specific fluorescent signal. Positive recombinant plasmids (PPRV pMD18-T-N and GTPV pMD18-T-ITR) were built and used for positive quantitative templates to establish duplex standard curves. The developed assay based on the probe N-ITR was found to be highly specific and sensitive with a detection limit of 102 copies/μL cDNA and 103 copies/μL DNA for PPRV and GTPV, respectively. Finally, the duplex Real-time RT-PCR assay for simultaneous detection of PPRV and GTPV was established preliminarily in the study.

This experiment was aimed to study the effect of quinestrol on the expression of PCNA and Caspase-3 in spermatogenic cells of juvenile mice. 4-week old male mice were randomly divided into four groups. Mice in the control group were injected intraperitoneally with olive oil alone and mice in the experiment groups were injected intraperitoneally with octylphenol resolved in olive oil at 1, 10, 100 mg/kg doses respectively for 1 week (once a day). The testes were immediately removed for weighing and serial cross-sections that were used for histological examination when the mice were 8-week-old. The expressions of PCNA and Caspase-3 in spermatogenic cells were determined by immunohistochemical method. The results showed that the thickness of the convoluted seminiferous tubule decreased, cellular deranged, cell layers decreased and intercellular space increased. Meanwhile, there were a large number of abnormal shedding of spermatocytes and round spermatids, but few elongated spermatids and spermatozoa. The expression of PCNA extremely significantly decreased and the expression of Caspase-3 extremely significantly increased as quinestrol dose increased (P<0.01).
